It's been quite awhile since I've done anything remotely resembling a Web Safari, but I only have a few links that I'm intending to share, so I'm combining this with a short thought on proper selection of sweet corn varieties.
First up - I found this article interesting, partly because it goes against what lots of churches like to promote: Unchurched People Prefer Traditional Churches This is actually referring to architecture and such, but an interesting article, nonetheless. (Is nonetheless really a word? The spell checker didn't highlight it for me, so it would seem to be somewhat acceptable. Kind of a strange word though - very German in the way of crunching words together to make a new word.)
The New York Times has a really interesting, and surprisingly, quite warm article about Rush Limbaugh.
Just in case you've never seen this county-by-county map of the Generic Term for Pop/Soda/Coke.
Sweet Corn
I bought some sweet corn from the main sweet corn farmer at the market this morning. I have to say that I was disappointed. Granted, I was raised on certain varieties of sweet corn, and I have an affinity for them. I also found one variety out in Ohio that I really, really like. (Mirai) Unfortunately, the growers here are enamored with bicolor varieties (which is fine if that is what you like, although I think they are just silly). The variety was also a sugary enhanced variety, and I much prefer SuperSweets. They are much sweeter, have better shelf life, and have a nice crunch. I personally like my sweet corn crunchy, although I know other people don't. Their loss.
